However, a stray "silver-grey" buck did find his way up through the back country below Wairoa but was eventually caught in the Tauwhare-parae area.

Holding the rabbit is trapper Charlie Denton, who finally nailed the harmless enough looking pest.

Finds like this lead to interesting geological suppositions such as did the shoreline sink in an earthquake, or was it covered over through the years by alluvial deposits?

Lasting only one day, the large white flowers make a great show while they are out.

Experiencing anything from 14 to 20 degrees of frost during the winter up that way, and judging by the way the weather has been behaving lately, we would hazard a guess and say that one of those frosts is probably still up there.

Owing to the vigilance of the East Coast Rabbit Board, and the concentration of its officers, the rabbit problem is kept well under control in that farmers are not troubled in this area by the pest.

Gary Monk was present, when, in the course of sinking a bore on his father's property at the new Gisborne motels, these shells were brought up from about 20 feet down.
